    2006 Mustang Saleen S281 to start the season

    Before Pictures
    This is actually one of our personal cars we just picked up a few weeks ago. My wife saw this on craigslist and thought she had to have it. Now that the weather is a bit better it is time to bring that exterior back to life. The car is pretty rough and has 127k miles on it.



    before picture of the roof. the paint on the car was pretty rough with lots of swirls

    picture of the hood, which has lots of RIDS and swirls.

    trunk lid and spoiler which are also in very poor condition


    rear bumper cover and exhaust tips which have a fair amount of carbon build up on them

    dirt build up around the tail light and rear bumper cover

    The Cleaning Process
    The car was washed using the 2 bucket method with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Clear. After that it was decon`d with Iron X, after being thoroughly rinsed it was then followed up with another wash using a Nanoskin wash mit.
